Sociology survey questions

So I have an activity from my Sociology class at uni, and I was hoping you guys would participate.
The more people, the more answers, the more interesting this could be.

Question 1: When you think of crime, what are two crimes that come to mind?

Question 2: When thinking of a criminal, what picture or description of the individual do you see?

1- Murder and Use/import of drugs
2- A very generic thug outlook, baggy clothes, probably wearing a coat or jacket with a facial expression with very bad intents. Oh, and black (Excuse racial)

Classic rough looking guy with whiskers, fat face, big nose, that black eye-mask that nobody actually wears, a black and white striped sweater, and a black beanie.

Murder and robbery I guess.

I don't really have a mental image of what a criminal looks like outside the guy in black and white strips wearing a balaclava. Other than that I tend to think murderers, robbers, sexual assaulters and the like are uglier than more intelectual criminals (not saying the other kind isn't smart, just some weird stereotype I have).
